Like father like son: Baby becomes star of dad’s police swearing-in ceremony

A US police officer's baby son unwittingly became the star of his dad's swearing-in ceremony after being caught on camera mimicking his movements.

Officer Pillip Haning was sworn in to the Greenville Police Department in North Carolina earlier this week, and his family came along for the ceremony.

His six-month-old son Nolan seems already destined to follow in dad's footsteps, raising his right hand at the same time as Officer Haning.

The Greenville PD shared the photo on Facebook, where it has become an online sensation.

"It looks like his son is ready to join the ranks, as well," the caption read.
